Where do I enter my 1099-MISC for my AmeriCorps education award on Turbo Tax so that it is not subject to self-employment tax?

Most answers to this question online direct you to select "Less Common Income" then "Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C" then "Other Reportable Income," but when I try this, the page says not to enter an amount from form 1099-MISC, which is the form that I'm trying to use.

Everywhere else I try to enter the amount ends up charging me a self-employment tax, but I was not self-employed. I earned the education award after completing a term of service with AmeriCorps and the amount was paid from the Corporation for National and Community Service to the institutions where I had student loans.
